Damage models are basic elements in numerical simulation materials failure in particular at high strain rates. Many damage models can be found in the literature. However, a few of them such as GNT (Gurson, Tvergaard and Needleman) and Johnson-Cook models have gained wide application in the simulations. The models involve a number of constants to be determined normally by experiment in which void development...
